Before the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued a series of decrees to appease the people, and the whole of Bac Ninh was exempt from taxes for three years, which made the people rejoice. This made the former old minister of Bac Ninh, who was looking forward to the turmoil, couldn't help but be very disappointed. In the treatment of the royal family of Bac Ninh, Nangong Jingchen also adheres to the word "benevolence and courtesy", treats them with courtesy, and has no oppression and bullying. Like the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and others, Nangong Jingchen gave him a palace to live in, and was accompanied by three maidservants, so that he could live decently. It's just that the Empress Dowager is not very good-tempered, and she scolds Nangong Jingchen loudly in the palace all day long, and when there are no results after several warnings, Nangong Jingchen personally goes to persuade her, outsiders don't know what these two people have talked to, but since then, the Empress Dowager has been much quieter, and when she is fine, she is like an ordinary old lady, basking in the sun and being in a daze.

Before Nangong Jingchen invaded the palace, the palace was already sparsely populated, and the palace maids and eunuchs were not enough, so they took the opportunity to recruit a large number of palace maids and eunuchs of appropriate age among the people, so that the palace had a new feeling.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but for the new emperor's country name, the ministers have not been decided, some people believe that Nangong Jingchen is also a member of the royal family of Bac Ninh, and can continue to retain the previous Shunji country name of Bac Ninh, this generation should be the word "An". However, there are other people who believe that Nangong Jingchen overthrew the rule of Emperor Bac Ninh, so it should naturally be re-established as a country and completely cut off from Bac Ninh. The two points of view were deadlocked, each of them thought that they were reasonable, and even quarreled with Nangong Jingchen to let him decide.

The matter of setting the country name can be big or small, to put it bluntly, it is just a simple name in the history books, but in the present world, it directly determines the identity and status of Nangong Jingchen, whether it is another dynasty or succession as the emperor. And the name of the country that Nangong Jingchen thought was different from what the ministers thought. The reason why he was able to become the emperor was so that the woman he loved no longer had to endure the pain of being manipulated, so the country name must be related to it. Thinking like this in his heart, Nangong Jingchen decided to ask Baili Lan to see what her opinion was.

This is the first reunion of the two people in the capital, breaking through the layers of obstacles, the two can finally stand on the opposite side openly, looking at each other carefully.

"You've lost weight." Looking at Nangong Jingchen, Baili Lan said lightly.

Lowering his head and laughing, Nangong Jingchen said: "It's better to be thinner, you used to say that Brother Gongzi lived too comfortably and was easy to become fat." And you don't like fat people, I've met your requirements now? ”

Bai Lilan didn't remember the past, so she was silent for a while, and then talked about something else. Looking at Nangong Jingchen's standing legs, Bai Lilan said, "Your legs are much better than last time." I heard them say that you couldn't walk before, and it was the method I thought of that healed your leg disease. As a doctor, seeing that the patient is now healed, the original Baili Lan should be very relieved. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen moved closer to Baili Lan, took her hand with both hands, gently put it on his cheek, and asked tenderly: "You are Bai Lilan, where is there anything that came before and came after?" Don't take on the shackles of memory, you just need to follow your heart now and listen to what your heart thinks. Lan'er, I don't believe you will forget your feelings for me, we used to love each other so much, and we won't give up on each other because of this little difficulty, right? ”

Bai Lilan is not used to such close contact with people, even if it is Nangong Jingchen, her former husband, Bai Lilan also has an urge to push him away. But Nangong Jingchen held Bai Lilan's hand tightly, his eyes burned with blazing flames, and he slowly lowered his head and approached the long-awaited red lips......

Staggered slightly, Baili Lan said coldly: "What identity are you using to kiss me now, Emperor?" Or my husband? ”

Baili Lan's question made Nangong Jingchen stop his movements, looked at her with his eyes firmly, and said, "Lan'er, do you think that I am using my identity to suppress you and force you to make a choice?" ”

The corners of her mouth were coldly hooked, and Bai Lilan asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

Nangong Jingchen just wanted to argue for himself, but looking at those smart eyes, Nangong Jingchen was stunned at first, and then put his forehead against Baili Lan's forehead, and said with a chuckle: "I was almost deceived by your little fox again." You always like to me off and watch me jump to my feet at your. Actually, you didn't have the answer in your own mind, and you were confused, so you threw the question to me, right? ”

Bai Lilan had never carefully analyzed what she was thinking, but now listening to Nangong Jingchen's analysis, she felt very reasonable. However, Bai Lilan will not easily admit his weaknesses, if he wants to survive in this troubled world, he must not be caught by others, so Bai Lilan raised his head and smiled: "Your self-talk is very interesting, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener for me." However, that's just your speculation, not what I think. It sounds like a boredom when it's okay, but if you want to force it on me, then I won't admit it! ”

Reaching out to pinch Baili Lan's chin, Nangong Jingchen smiled dotingly: "Lan'er, you are lying again." But even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter, these little habits of yours are only known to me. After speaking, Nangong Jingchen couldn't help but peck on his red lips, naturally quickly, and before Bai Lilan could react, he had already withdrawn and left.

Rubbing her lips indignantly, Bai Lilan said angrily: "You didn't have anything important to do today, just to take advantage of it!" If that's the case, then you're good to go! Also, don't come to me when you're fine, find a woman to solve your personal problems! ”

"Princess!" He Che really couldn't listen to it anymore, and reminded in a low voice, "You are about to become the mistress of the harem, and it won't do you any good to push the master to find another woman." And the master's eyes are full of you now, but he can't see any other woman. ”

Looking at He Che's frowning appearance, as if he was very anxious, Bai Lilan couldn't help but say funny: "You also said that it is now, and now he thinks about me, maybe he will get tired of it in the future, and it will be too late to get rid of it!" ”

Baili Lan knew that Nangong Jingchen was not that kind of person, but she deliberately said that, so anxious that He Che squeezed her eyebrows and made an expression, she only hoped that the princess who was not in the state would quickly find the presence of the hostess, otherwise, those ministers in the court would send their daughters to the palace! This harem is another court, if you can seize the opportunity and arrange your daughter and sister-in-law into it, then your power position will be more stable.

The small movements between the two were clearly seen by Nangong Jingchen. But he just smiled, then looked at Baili Lan and asked, "Lan'er, do you want to meet Xiaobao?" ”

Xiaobao ......

Baili Lan was confused, and then said, "Is it my brother?" ”

After Nangong Jingchen heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you remember?" ”

Shaking her head gently, Bai Lilan looked at the delicate grass on the ground and said, "I heard Wuyan talk about it. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen's mood couldn't help but drop a lot, and said, "If you let Xiaobao know that you forgot him, you will be sad." I'm just saying you're recuperating and shouldn't be disturbed. But after you meet, if you tell him the truth, it's up to you to decide. ”

"He ......" Baili Lan hesitated and asked, "Has he been with you all this time?" ”

"When I came to the capital this time, although I was confident in this war, I was not 100% sure, so I left him in Lanling first, and only after the matter here was settled, I ordered someone to take him to the palace. No, I only arrived this morning, and now I'm clamoring to come to see you. Why don't you follow me into the palace to see him now?" You are my wife, if I let Xiaobao know that you live outside alone, I am afraid that I will feel that I owe you something. ”

Although she knew that Nangong Jingchen was using Xiaobao to negotiate terms with herself, Baili Lan just had no way to refuse, because she had concerns about this child in her heart. Moreover, it's just to enter the palace, and it's not a jackal's den, what can't you go!

With her chin raised slightly, Bai Lilan looked at Nangong Jingchen proudly and said, "I can enter the palace, but it's just to see my younger brother, it has nothing to do with you!" I hope you can keep those gossips away from me, otherwise, you will know about me, and I can't guarantee that you won't do something unpleasant for both you and me. ”

It's intimidation, but at least it's a good start, isn't it? With this little bit of progress, Nangong Jingchen was already content.

Knowing that the eldest sister was coming back, Xiaobao called Qiushuang early and asked her to comb her hair in a neat bun, tie it with silk ribbons, and change into a plain robe, which looked energetic and neat. Afraid that the eldest sister would come back to test her martial arts and learn the mental method, Xiaobao began to review all kinds on the way to Beijing.

Standing in front of the mirror and watching for a long time, Xiaobao asked Qiushuang beside him: "Qiushuang, do you think I have grown taller recently?" The eldest sister should want me to grow taller and more like a man, right? ”

Qiushuang put down the winter melon soup in her hand, dragged Xiaobao back in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "My little boy, don't take a photo, as long as you see you healthy, the county lord will be very happy." ”

"No," Xiao Baoyi rejected Qiushuang's statement rhetorically, and then said, "Last time, the eldest sister didn't see me for a long time, so she tested me a lot of internal skills!" In order to let the eldest sister know that I have not been lazy during this time, I must let the eldest sister see my progress! ”

Xiaobao clenched his little fists, and his serious appearance made Qiushuang laugh.

Just when Xiaobao was struggling in the mirror, whether to continue to tidy up his appearance, or to practice his mind again, a palace maid came in to inform him, saying that Baili Lan had entered the palace.
